An email address for drive-by bug reports?
Should there be a standard email address for "I'm reporting this because
I noticed it, but I'm not interested in it"-bug reports?
Orphaned packages get their maintainer address set to
<packages@qa.debian.org>. Shouldn't something similar be available for bugs?
For example I have opened bugs years ago against packages that I do not
use anymore. These reports are still valid and sometime others comment
on them, but I would no longer be able to, for example, respond to
`moreinfo` requests. At the same time these bugs clutter the bugs.d.o
page associated to my email address.
It would be nice to have a separate email address to which these bugs
could be reassigned (maybe after a minimum amount of time?).
It could be as simple as a the address of a dedicated mailing list.
